Good Friends & Good Food!

Juicy and ready to eat!

Tired of the same thing every Easter?

Truth is that Easter is an exciting day to celebrate with family and friends! So why shouldn't the food also be exciting? This year, instead of doing your traditional meal try my new Easter BBQ Lamb Ribs recipes.

Lamb has always been a staple-piece of Easter. From rack of lamb to leg roasts, we all love the flavor and taste of quality American lamb. Lamb ribs, however, might be something you have never had! These succulent and delicious ribs are full of amazing flavor that will melt in your mouth as you eat them.

First, you will lather these ribs in spices, then you will place them on the grill for a couple of hours. This will give you plenty of time to cook all the other dishes for your Easter party. Last, you will doss them in BBQ sauce and place them back on the smoker to caramelize. Serve these with a plate of fresh veggies, rice, & beans for a perfect holiday meal.

3 Tips for the BBQ Lamb Ribs

Tip #1: Use all of the spices including the mustard!

These ribs are packed full of flavor. Make sure to use all the spices so that you really bring out that amazing American lamb. The spices that I list below are perfect compliments to BBQing the ribs. The mustard is also a great substitute for olive oil as it will hold the spices in place plus add a lot of flavor!

Tip #2: Keep that smoker between 225-250F

Lamb ribs have a lot of fat on the top layer. This means that as you cook them then they will have the fat gradually seep into the meat. This is where you get that nice and tender image of ribs in your mind. Keeping that grill hot will make sure that the fat breaks down easily while not too quickly!

Tip #3: Caramelize the BBQ sauce at the end.

The ribs will be pretty much ready to eat when you pull them off the grill the first time. Once you lather them with BBQ sauce, do not be tempted to eat! Throw them back on the grill to caramelize that BBQ sauce for an amazing crust. You will be happy I told you this!

In your smoker, build up heat until you reach an even 225-250F. NOTE: I recommend adding cherry wood chips for a subtle smoky flavor.

Lather the ribs with mustard first, then season with all the spices listed above (except BBQ sauce). Make sure to season thoroughly.

Place ribs on smoker for indirect cooking for 3.5 hours. Make sure to spray ribs with apple cider every 30 minutes to make sure they stay tender and juicy.

Pull ribs off grill and lather with BBQ sauce. Place ribs back on grill over a medium heat for another 30 min to caramelize the sauce.
